MEMORIAL GALLERY SEEKS ART FOR THE INTERNET
Website to show the work of deceased American artists

Los Angeles, CA - The Memorial Gallery of American Art, a non-profit virtual gallery at the address: www.mgaa.net.  The Gallery is dedicated to showing, on the Internet, the work of 20th and 21st century American artists and craftsmen who are no longer living.

"Many of these artists were internationally known,  while others did not have the opportunity to reach a world wide audience during their lifetimes, "says Gallery director Elena Canavier. " The Memorial Gallery aims , through its web site, to bring public attention to the very rich cultural legacy left to us by the artists of our times.  In this way, we hope to help in the preservation of the works of art."

Opening with the work of two Southern California artists: Robert Chuey, noted in the 1950s for his genre paintings of kitchen utensils and later in the '60s for his abstracted landscapes, and John Giordano, an "outsider art" painter of religious subjects, oceanscapes and pristine still life arrangements, the Gallery is in the process of adding more artists to its exhibition site.

The Gallery is now looking for the work of artists, who are no longer living, for inclusion in its on-going Internet exhibition. Anyone owning work by a deceased artist, or the owner's authorized representative, is invited to enter photos of the work for possible inclusion in the exhibition. Work in all media is welcome. A panel of art professionals reviews the entries to ensure artistic quality and that a broad and diverse range of art is included. At this time there are no fees charged to participate in this exhibition. The Gallery takes no commissions on sales that may result from the exhibition and forwards all inquiries about the work to the exhibitors.

Information and entry forms may be obtained by sending an e-mail to :  ecana@att.net
